Utter a Curse of Dread and Bone

Frequently Asked Questions

Adversaries

• For Scotland Level 5+, the oceans are in play for purposes of Blight only. How does that interact with Powers, Special Rules, Events, etc. that deal with Blight?
  Powers, Events, etc can add, remove, or move Blight into/out of the Ocean, or count / check it (for, e.g.: The Land Thrashes in Furious Pain). If something messing with Blight in the Ocean also does other stuff, that other stuff doesn't happen. If an Event tells you, "Do X in a land with Blight", unless X is adding more Blight, you have to choose somewhere else.

  There are currently no abilities which transform Blight, but if one existed, the resulting piece would be in an illegal state and follow those rules.

• When Volcano Looming High uses Explosive Eruption vs Tsardom of Russia Level 2+, can they Push 1 Explorer from the origin land (when it does damage by destroying Presence) then destroy that Explorer using the thresholds of the innate that deal damage to nearby lands? Does that Push the Explorer again?
  No, and no. Actions can't destroy Invaders that were saved from destruction earlier in that same action, so the runaway Explorer is safe. And all the damage is part of a single action, so you only Push them (and generate Fear) once.

  The damage from destroying your Presence is part of the same action because the Special Rule says "When you destroy your Presence..." – it modifies how other actions work while they're happening.

Aspects

• Can the Intensify Aspect add multiple token types with Hazards Spread Across the Island?
  No. Hazards Spread Across the Island can only add more of the chosen token you are adding, even if other tokens could have been chosen instead.

  Similarly, if a Power allows adding multiple token types in combinations you choose (e.g., Utter a Curse of Dread and Bone), Intensify can only add extras of token types that are already being added. And if you could add tokens in multiple places (e.g., Spill Bitterness into the Earth), you can only add extra tokens where you already added tokens of that type.

Effect Rules

• If a Power has a cap on the amount of Damage it can do, can Damage bonuses allow it to exceed that cap?
  Yes. The cap is on the "natural" amount of Damage the Power can do before any bonuses are applied.

  Similarly, if there is a cap on any other effect (e.g., tokens added by Utter a Curse of Dread and Bone), apply any bonuses after checking the cap.

Power Cards

• Does Utter a Curse of Dread and Bone count Blight in the target land *and* adjacent lands, or do you have to choose?
  It counts both. "in or adjacent" would be better phrased as "in/adjacent".

Range and Targeting

• When choosing Beasts to move with Flocking Red-Talons, which land do you measure Range from?
  The target land. All text in land-targeting Powers is resolved in relation to the target land unless otherwise specified.

• When a special rule grants a Range boost specifically for targeting lands with specific traits/contents, like Shadows of the Dahan, does that apply to Range arrows within a Power's text?
  No, that bonus is specifically for choosing the target of a land-targeting Power.

  Use the Power as though the number in the "Range" box were increased or completely ignored (depending on the Range boost in question) and the extra target requirement were included in the "Target Land" box. In the case of Shadows of the Dahan, this means ignoring the Range number entirely (but not anything else in the "Range" box!) and adding "Dahan" to whatever else is already in the "Target Land" box.

  This differs from general-purpose Range boosts, which apply to all Range arrows.

  Though early printings of Sky Stretches to Shore use the word "targeting," the text of that Power has been revised to work like other Range-boosing Powers and is not subject to this restriction.
